Health Mazairate to Oregooii Residents from
ayuiccuduy
Testimony Heard at
Hearing on Planned
Inspection Program
o e By BILL FORCE
; United Press Correspondent -
G" Salem (U.R) Health haz
ards to Oregonians who may
inadvertently eat so-called
"measly meat" were described
in graphic terms here Friday
by: members of the State De
partment of Agriculture urging
z. a compulsory meat inspection
law forthe state,
o Dr. R. R. Younce, state veter
inarian, and E. L. Wright, state
livestock ; inspector, told the
House Livestock committee on
numerous instances of small
slaughterhouses accepting after
hours carcasses of meat an
imals that had died of unknown
causes. The meat was then sold
the unsuspecting public.
Meat Condemned
c They recalled the case of
burned ; meat condemned in
Washington but bootlegged on
the Oregon market; of an at
tempt to sell meat from day-old
calves that had died in ship-
to the slaughterhouse. They said
a compulsory meat inspection
law would have prevented' such
instances.
Dr. Younce said the danger to
humans eating measly meat
arose from toxins in the meat
of cancerous cattle and from
tapeworm in the flesh of cattle
that had pastured on land irri
gated with sewage effluent.
Thorough cooking, he conceded,
destroyed tapeworm in meat,
but he said it is the habit of
many Americans to ' eat .rare
beef. ' ' ' ' -
Department- witnesses testi
fied that the butchering of ' ani
mals that have died of unknown
causes before being brought to
the slaughterhouse is a relative
ly common practice in some es
tablishments not under some
farm of meat inspection feder
al, city, or voluntary state in-
pection. -'"'
Witnesses Questioned
The committee, headed by
Rep. t Robert Steward (D-Keat-ing),
questioned witnesses close
ly absut the costs of. the pro
posed plan. Dr.. R. C. Sexauer,
another department veterinari
an, said.' the plan would require
approximately. 57 lay: inspectors, ;
and 18 'state-employed veterin
arians, to inspect 132 slaughter
houses in widely separated parts
of the state. y :
The inspection plan proposed
In house bill 99 would require
an expenditure of some $399,113
for salaries, about $52,000 for
administration, or a total hud
get of $4f 7,251 for .the next
biennium. ;
The committee had ,the bill
under advisement Saturday and
probably will hear further argu
ments for and against it before
taking :. final action, Steward
said.- ... ).

State Junior College
Plan To Be Proposed
B7 WILLIAM WARREN
United Press Correspondent

courage the establishment of
junior colleges in Oregon, there
by relieving the load on the
state's four-year institutions of
higher learning, will be intro

No New Buildings
On Mall Predicted
In Next Four Years
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L.
Patterson doesn't look for any
new state buildings to be erect
ed in the capital mall in the
next four years.
He made the observation at a
meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture here Friday, at
which needs of the agriculture
were - explained to legislative
leaders.
After hearing architects' re
ports on possible construction
suitable for the department, in
cluding a "natural resources"
building on the mall, the agricul
ture board submitted alternate
proposals for immediate housing
needs. 1
Would Add To Building
One plan would add a third
story to the new finance de
partment building at 12th and
Ferry streets and move the en
tire agriculture department to
that building. Cost was esti
mated at $360,000, covering the
new floor and finishing of ...the
second floor which the depart
ment would also use. .
- The alternate plan would be
to move part of the Agriculture
Department to the second floor
of the finance building, at a cost
of $100,000. The rest of the de
partment would remain in the
old 12th street building it now
occupies with the state printing
plant ;

OSC To Participate
In Study of Grains
an, Wash. (U.R) Land
grant colleges of three North
west states Saturday announced
the signing of an agreement on
cooperation for the development
and testing of better cereal
grains. .
Colleges involved are Wash
ington State, Oregon State and
the University of Idaho.
The agreement provides for
the exchange of promising new
grains, testing of the grains in
the areas where , they will .be
used and the simultaneous' re
lease of new varieties for farm
Rep. Harvey De Armond .(R
Bend). - -
At present Oregon has only
one junior college, at Bend, and
so far it has been financed en
tirely by Bend school district'
No. 1. In contrast, California has
some 50 junior colleges, to ease
the strain on its four year in
stitutions. Gives Valuable Instruction
Central Oregon College at
Bend furnishes two years of col
lege education and, its advocates
say, furnishes valuable instruc
tion to students financially un
able to attend a four-year col
lege which is remote from home.
About a fourth of the students
there live . outside the Bend
school district No. 1, although
the district pays all the bills
on the courses they take except
for student fees.
Under terms of De , Armond's
bill, which has been signed by
several other legislators, the de
partments of higher education
would pay $1000 to the college,
plus $100 for each full-time stu
dent with a limitation to the
state's contribution of not more
than half the operating costs
after student fees are' credited
against the budgets. The state
would pay nothing toward con
struction costs. ! .
In the case of 'Central Oregon
college, the state's contribution
would amount to less than $10,
000 a year, and similar amounts
might be expected in other ju
nior colleges created in Oregon.
Students Pay $165
As a "pilot program" of what
other communities might expect
of their junior colleges, students
at Central Oregon college pay
$165 a year for full-time study
and proportionately less for
those attending part-time. The
balance of the operating cost in
the case of the Bend institution
is made up in the school dis
trict's budget.
De Armond said that junior
colleges ease the strain on the
four-year schools by giving in
struction to first and second
year students.
He pointed out that many stu
dents drop out of the four-year
schools by the end of the se
cond year. On the other, hand,
junior ' college students who
have "found themselves" in
those two years of study and
know in .which direction they
want to go, . can go on to take
their second two years at the
four-year schools and get much
more educational benefit as a
result.
? A second function of the ju
nior colleges, as the Bend Bul
letin recently pointed out, is to
take care of the student who
needs some work beyond the
high school level, but does not
desire a four-year course in his
field. This would include such
classifications as mechanics, bus
iness courses, and agricultural
short courses.
Professional Foresters
To Study Legislation
. Salem (U.R) The effect of
Current legislative proposals on
the practice of forestry in wes
ern Oregon will be studied by

ter of the, Society of American

' Leading the discussion will be

Cottage Grove), chairman of the
House Taxation Committee and
himself a professional forester.
Sen. Paul E. Geddes (R-Rose-burg),

Measure To Outlaw
Salmon Derby Gets
Backing in Astoria
Astoria (U.R) The Astoria
Chamber ofNCommerce, one of
the. traditional sponsors of the
16-year-old Astoria Salmon Der
by, has voted to endorse a re
cent legislative proposal to out
law such derbies.
A resolution supporting the
ban was offered by W. F. Mc
Gregor, local retailer of sports
fishing tackle who has been
called the "Father of the Astoria
Salmon Derby."
Vote 6 to 5
The board of directors of the
chamber voted 6-5 in favor of
indorsing the House. bill which
has yet to come up for a vote.
Four directors did not vote.
The chamber's fisheries com
mittee recommended support of
the bill to the board of directors.
Local opinion, reflected by
the chamber decision, holds , thai
the derby, which has become
one of the Northwest's greatest
attractions of its kind, was de
pleting the area's salmon re
source. Many local residents felt the
derby was entered because of
the prizes it offered, rather than
because of the competition or
thrill of the sport offered.
$3,500 in Prizes Offered
Last year some $3,500 in pri
zes were offered during the
derby. The Warrenton and
Chinook derbies in Washington,
which operate in about the same
area, offered $2,500 and $1,500
in prizes during the same per
iod. Some persons opposing the
resolution argued that it would
not be effective unless the state
of Washington takes similar ac
tion against the Warrenton and
Chinook affairs.
